jodi Arias TAKES THE STAND FOR 8TH DAY #45 *may contain graphic and adult content*

[katiecoolady]

Oh! One more thing. Pretty sure I sat next to Juan Martinez' mother today.

 

[Karmady]

I heard several attorneys/commentators say they thought today was basically a guilty plea to second degree murder. What do you think?

Yes. I've always thought this was a case where a second degree charge would have been a slam dunk. This pros has overcharged with 1st degree before to wind up at a manslaughter verdict.

This is a minor point but still bugs me- she's supposed to be taking some formal photos of him posing in the shower. So why are the photos so poorly lit, so atrocious?

 

[FrayedKnot]

Well said. I seem to recall some mention of a fast-food or auto-parts store type job he mentioned on his myspace or in his blog... but don't quote me because I may be remembering incorrectly.

PPL may have been Travis' first and only job (with maybe a fresh-out-of-HS job for a short time prior). Keeping a job and being self-supporting at that age is commendable to me, especially not having much if any good role models concerning work ethic/discipline... I see nothing bad about that, no matter what kind of job he had. But that's just me.

Well said. And by the same token, there is nothing shameful or trashy about being a waitress.

Flores is Mormon? I missed that, and how in the world would Jodi know that?

When I thought I heard that too I said to my husband how does she know he is a Mormon. He said she meant travis but I still kind of think she was referring to Flores but I don't know lol.

Ok, agree with that in a big way. Let's back up and break this down (to use a Nurmism).

A loaded gun.

Not in a gun safe.

No trigger lock.

Out of sight, top shelf, in the back. And he totally forgot it was there.

"Yeah, hun, would you dust the shelves in the closet? Be sure to take everything off the dusty shelf."

Yeah, right. Sure. I believe that. Not. Even.

Oh I have no doubt she got into every nook and cranny at Travis's house and it had nothing to do with house cleaning and everything to do with her being a big psycho SNOOP!

And I sure hope they have pictures of that closet the night Travis was found to see if anything was disturbed because that 5'6 girl HAD to climb up on something and knock crap down to reach a shelf that was WAY over her reach.

The friend that was on HLN the other night who said he took Travis out shooting tons of times and every single time he had to borrow a gun because he did not own one of his own. I think his testimony would be relevant. Don't know if he's on the list or not. He said one week prior to Travis's murder he was at his house and Travis at that time did NOT have a gun.

mister nurse on the 25 cal gun

1) no one keeps a round chambered in a gun with the safety off

2) a 25 cannot be loaded and not chambered unless you have a magazine

3) to load and chamber a round would take a couple of seconds and you would have to know what you are doing (she claims to never have shot a gun iirc)


(mister nurse is an army officer)

Mister nurse says no way in hello did she have time (I told him the distance to the closet) be body slammed, recover from that, run to the closet, climb up, get the gun, load the gun/chamber the round and run back out and fire on Travis at that trajectory.

Not to mention stab, then chase him as he crawls while stabbing him in the back, cutting his throat and dragging him back down the hall in what??

Something like 2 minutes?

Thank you for the amazing notes again katie.

Are you in court tomorrow? Hopefully the jury's body language etc will change once JM gets going

How callous this woman is that she remembers and mentions putting the knife in the dishwasher after she murders the occupant of the home. She only remembers her attempt to be tidy? My head still might explode going over all the ridiculous things she said. What a mockery her testimony has been so far.

Dr. Manion on NG has some very important points to make about the gun shot wound. Can't wait to get back to the facts of this case. Jurors will be delighted to not have to listen to Jodi and her crazy sex talk, and her attorney who can't seem to talk about anything but sex.

Because she's not the photographer she thinks she is.

BOZ BOZ BOZ :great:

LOL, that was a great moment when Prosecutor BOZ called out that dude about posting here. :laughcry:

Ok, I gotta know about that, TIA.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

Did anybody else catch JA saying this afternoon "i just wanted to apper normal to everyone"..NEVER gonna happen, missy. Not in your lifetime.

Also, I'm wondering if she or her family got paid for those interviews.

I will be in court ALL day tomorrow..morning and afternoon session. I'll get there early to make sure I get a seat. Their body language is all pretty subtle in terms of changes. They are all quite stone faced.

I am watching them like a hawk. Partly because it's hard for me to not go out of my mind watching this defendant and/or Nurmi.

Tomorrow watching Juan M. though will be different. I'll be fascinated in her body language.

And where's that hairstyle?

Because a 5 yr old can take better pictures than she can! (sorry couldn't resist)

 

[StephanieHartPI]

Ok, I just have to ask about something that has been bothering me, trivial but bothering nonetheless.

I understand that one of the things JA is using in her 'abuse' defense is that TA kept their relationship a secret, no one knew...blah blah blah blatty blah.

But, it seems like they spent A LOT of time alone in his bedroom. Noone, not the roommates (if her story about her car being in the driveway parked int he same spot she always did is to be believed) anyho, no one, not a single person thought possible improper behavior was occurring (aka sex of some nature)? She claims in another part of her testimony that basically she lived there her last week in AZ and slept every night in his bed.

I just wondered about that. How big a secret was it really?

Kelly

I know she said that a lot and that is ridiculous! All of his friends knew her and even said that at first they thought he really cared for her. They knew she was dating him, then shortly after they started, it went a bit bad and they were "breaking up" sort of. So her claim is a lie to make him look like he hid her out. His friends are even on tV saying they all knew her and she was in his life at first.

And she remembered WHERE the knife came from - until Nurmi stepped in and corrected her and reminded her that couldn't be possible -- that she had to "assume" she knew where the knife came from. One big -- OH YEAH - that's the story -- that's the one I'm supposed to stick with

 

[Curious Me]

Jodi sniveling that she was thinking about a whole lot of things after killing Travis and whether to tell anyone. She was thinking about her family, herself, herself, herself, and herself, herself, herself, and then herself.

 

[nursebeeme]

And really, wouldn't the canteen (or whatever the little market is called in the jail) keep track of how much medicine an inmate is purchasing? Wouldn't you need ALOT of freaking Advil to do this? I assume they sell the little 2 pill packets - not entire bottles.

This commissary (it is clearly not new and WARNING because there is profanity at the top of the page... this person isn't a fan of the Sheriff, heh) http://free-kevin-walsh.tripod.com/letters/kevin0706-2.html shows that "pain reliever" can only be bought two at a time with a 21/week limit.
